8 series, two documentaries and a film to watch this week

Jesse Williams (also known as "that handsome guy from Grey's Anatomy "), who plays the lead role here, is Daniel De Luca, a former Marine who now spends his time solving other people's problems. In this case, those of the Hotel Costiera, a luxury hotel in his childhood hometown, where he decides to return after being away for a while. The series has six episodes and takes place on the coast of Positano.

A thirty-minute documentary directed by Geeta Gandbhir and Christalyn Hampton follows Tracii, the security guard at an Atlanta health center who, as she says in the trailer, will one day have to explain to her daughter how the world has gone backward. One of the main roles of Tracii and her colleagues is to ensure the safety of women who come to the clinic for abortions. The ongoing protests surrounding the facility pose a security concern, and the filmmakers film the security team's routines to understand their daily challenges.

Last week, a wave of premieres began on Apple TV+ that deserve extra attention. The Morning Show returned, Slow Horses returns this week, and The Savant premieres on Friday. October will see The Last Frontier and Down Cemetery Road . But here, let's focus on Slow Horses , an adaptation of Mick Herron's spy novels by Will Smith (the other, who wrote The Thick of It and Veep ), one of the most entertaining and exciting series currently available. Espionage stories, steeped in thriller , with a good dose of humor, based on the following idea: what happens when ultra-competent MI5 agents are dismissed and placed on the shelf, doing bureaucratic work and taking the blame for some of the organization's failings? The answer is Slow Horses , but the answer is also this: they rebel in the only way they know how, trying to solve the problem until the very end. And they make the most of their underdog factor, never having anything to really prove, but proving it all the same: they're the best at what they do. Slow Horses is back with six more episodes, one per week, this time starting with a mass murder in London, the last day on the job—or is it?—of one of our favorite characters, and a Slow Horses asset with a target on his back. It's going to be fun.

If you're in need of a documentary about sneakers—the ones you wear, that is, sneakers—this is your place this week. The title says it all: "unseen insights" are included in the promotion of this type of documentary, and Beckham, Bolt, and Neymar are on stage.

One of those comedy series with a respectable longevity. And it's impossible, after almost two decades, to maintain the gritty, gritty tone of the first seasons. But Mac, Dennis, Charlie, Dee, and Frank continue to approach reality through their own unique lens. And sometimes, it occurs to them that they have to run a bar.

An animated series that's part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's slate of series. Marvel Zombies was born from an episode of the series "What If…?" dedicated to the undead, and this series continues that idea, following a group of survivors who must fight superpowered zombies.

Created, written, and starring comedian Mae Martin, "Rebellion" could be a welcome surprise when it hits Netflix. A thriller about a family moving to a town that doesn't quite seem like what it is—there's something far more idyllic about it—and that seems to hide a secret about teenagers who have gone missing.

“House of Guinness”

Two things come to mind when you think of Guinness: beer and records. Well, this series is about the first and its founding, trying to give it that Succession drama. It all takes place in the 1860s when the family patriarch dies and the business falls into the hands of his sons. We already know it became a success. At what cost?

Got a Taylor Sheridan hangover? It'll pass quickly: new seasons of several of the creator's series are coming out in the coming months. The first is the third season of Tulsa King , in which Sylvester Stallone plays a mobster who must rebuild his life of crime in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

“The First Age”

A film about the loss of innocence, A Primeira Idade is a feature film by Alexander David that toured the festival circuit a few years ago—IndieLisboa and Rotterdam, both in competition—but never premiered in Portugal. It now arrives on streaming. Starring Joana Ribeiro, Ágata de Pinho, João de Rosário, and Rodrigo Marujo.

“The Savant”

Based on a Cosmopolitan article, Jessica Chastain stars in this eight-episode series that begins with the following premise: is it possible to stop a mass murder? Chastain infiltrates online groups to try to prevent some of these attacks. Will she succeed? Created by Melissa James Gibson, one of the writers of The Americans .
